Control of Our Brains: Scientific Warnings and Technological Reality
Since the late 1940s, scientists have been developing technologies to monitor, influence, and control human brain activity. What began as cybernetics research has evolved into sophisticated brain-computer interfaces and neural implants that can both read and manipulate human thoughts and behaviors.
This presentation examines decades of scientific literature warning about the ethical implications of these technologies and their potential for misuse. From early cybernetics pioneers to modern neuroscientists, experts have consistently raised concerns about who controls these technologies and for what purposes.
The Birth of Cybernetics: Remote Control and Communication
1940s: Cybernetics Emerges
Professor Norbert Wiener coins the term "cybernetics" from the Greek word for "steersman," defining it as "the entire field of control and communication theory, whether in the machine or in biology."
1956: Early Warnings
Dr. Joost Meerloo publishes "The Rape of the Mind," warning about "transformation of the free human mind into an automatically responding machine."
1956: Scientific Debate
Professors Carl Rogers and B.F. Skinner discuss in "Science" magazine the ethical concerns of behavioral control: "Who will be controlled? Who will exercise control? What type of control will be exercised?"
Early Technological Developments: 1960s-1970s
Bio-Medical Telemetry (1968)
Dr. Stuart Mackay describes "miniature radio transmitters that can be swallowed, carried externally, or surgically implanted in man or animals" for monitoring physiological functions.
Physical Control of the Mind (1969)
Professor José Delgado demonstrates that "by electrical stimulation of specific cerebral structures we can make a person friendlier or influence his train of thought."
Behavior Control (1972)
Criminologists Ingraham and Smith describe systems "for telemetering information from sensors implanted in or on the body" to enable "twenty-four hour-a-day surveillance over the subject."
The Ethical Dilemma of Behavior Modification
Freedom vs. Control
Dr. Leonard Krasner (1977) noted that behavior modification raises fundamental questions about "concepts of freedom, justice, the nature of man and science, human rights, and other abstract but 'real' ideas and ideals."
Scientific Responsibility
José Delgado emphasized: "We must understand the social responsibility attached to our research and the moral impact it has on the world of men, including ourselves."
Power Imbalance
Rogers and Skinner warned: "Behavioral science is clearly moving toward increasing power for control which will be held by someone or some group; such an individual or group will surely choose the values of goals to be achieved."
Implantable Technology Advances: 1970s-1980s
Miniaturization Breakthrough
Thomas Fryer (1974) reported that "the number of reports on implantable electronic systems has grown year by year" since the advent of the transistor, with devices becoming increasingly sophisticated.
Two-Way Communication
Researchers at Yale and Madrid (1975) developed "transdermal stimoceivers allowing simultaneous recording and stimulation of brain functions with artificial links between unrelated cerebral areas."
Medical Applications
Researchers at University of Utah (1976) developed a "computer-based brain stimulation system to provide artificial vision for the blind through direct electrical stimulation of the brain."
Monitoring Capabilities
By 1981, implantable telemetry had progressed to "complex multifunction devices with integrated circuits that can also incorporate memory and microprocessor logic functions."
Symbionic Technology POSITIVE APPLICATIONS
Brain Enhancement
Professor Glenn Cartwright (1983) described "symbionic minds" - "wired directly to the human brain for both input and output to amplify intelligence"
Memory Augmentation
Cartwright stated 40 years ago: "Tiny mind prostheses or 'add-on' brains with extra memory storage that never again memories will fail with age"
Thought Interpretation
These devices would "be able to interpret our thoughts, our very wishes will become its commands"
The Surveillance Revolution: 1970s-1980s
Global Monitoring
Satellites and worldwide interception posts monitor all electronic communication
Massive Data Collection
Computer databases store unprecedented amounts of personal information
Remote Sensing
Telemetric devices transmit location and physiological data continuously
Diminished Privacy
Professor Gary Marx (1984): "There is nowhere to run or to hide"
As Professor Marx wrote 40 years ago: "There is no exit from the prying eyes, ears, and data-processing machines of government and business. Citizens' ability to evade surveillance is diminishing. The new surveillance goes beyond merely invading privacy."
Modern Neural Interface Technology: 1990s-2000s
Silicon Neural Probes
The University of Michigan's Center for Neural Communication Technology (1999) developed "silicon substrate multichannel probes" for "recording and stimulation in the central nervous system" using "silicon micromachining and photolithographic techniques."
Brain-Computer Interfaces
The European Group on Ethics (2005) described BCIs as "communication technologies: they take information from the brain and externalize it" while "internalizing technologies" bring outside information into the brain.
Nanotechnology
  • The Swedish Research Council (2004) warned about nanoparticles that can "penetrate the body through the lungs" and technology that could be "used to read or influence the thoughts, feelings and intentions of others."
Injectable Through the Skull Base
"The long-term goal of Lund University's Neuro Center is to develop a completely new generation of ultra-light-weight multi-channel electrodes that can be surgically implanted in the brain and spinal cord. " These electrodes are said to be injectable in humans and animals, and now both pets and livestock come into the new biological research. This program started about year 2000. We are connected to these systems without our consent or knowing about it.
At the same time Michigans University's Neuro departement started their program with hair-thinlike electrodes to be injectable directly into the brain. This booklet has been written to give interested investigators an introduction to silicon substrate multichannel probes fabricated at the University of Michigan, and to illustrate the designs which are available through the Center for Neural Communication Technology.
  • Injecting electrodes directly into the brain through the skull base was a technique developed as early as the late 1950s. This was mentioned by Dr. J.M. Delgado in a research report where he revealed that Dr. Robert Heath, in his early experiments with the new method experimenting on mental patients, had a 20% mortality rate. He wrote:
  • "Because these metallic conductors penetrate the skin and bone, they create a possible port of entry for undesirable micro organisms...In an early group of 10 patients with chronic electrodes, Heath reported two incidents of death related to brain abscesses...The danger has not been completely eliminated, however, and it will not disappear while connecting leads pierce the skin of the patients."
  • Brain abscesses is a dangerous infection which can give serious complications and even death. Ordinary people are forced to pay that price.
Ethical Concerns for the Future

Human Dignity
Protecting autonomy and preventing the creation of a "two-class society"
Preventing Misuse
Guarding against military applications and manipulation of people
Democratic Oversight
Ensuring public debate and political party's understanding that this is a political matter in need of restrictions
The European Group on Ethics stressed that certain applications should be banned, including "ICT implants used as a basis for cyber-racism," as those " used for changing the identity, memory, self-perception and perception of others," and implants "used to enhance capabilities in order to dominate others." They emphasized that "a broad social and political debate is needed as to what kind of applications should be accepted and legally approved."
BETWEEN TWO AGES, 1970
Zbigniew Brzezinski published his title in 1970 and what he predicted become a reality during his time in the White House as President Carters security policy adviser: "The post-industrial society is becoming a technetronic society and cybernetics replacing the operations. Human conduct can be predetermined and subjected to deliberate control. The capacity to assert social and political control over the individual will vastly increase. It will soon be possible to assert almost continuous control over every citizen and the most private behavior of every citizen. This will encourage tendencies through the next several decades toward a technetronic era, a dictatorship leaving even less room for political procedures, as we know them. The danger of loss of individuality inherent in extensive transplantation, the feasibility of manipulating the genetic structure and we will have to face new questions such as: Who am I?, When am I who?, Who are they, in relation to me?"
The Current Reality: Military and Civilian Applications
70+
Years of Development
Brain control technology has been developing for seven decades
24/7
Surveillance Capability
Continuous monitoring of subjects is now technically possible
0
Public Oversight
Virtually no democratic control over these technologies
Sweden's FOI (Defense Research Agency) states they work on "human-system interaction" to develop "unique tools for evaluation of human behavior and performance" and "methodology for description and modeling of human behavior." They aim to maximize "system effect" by utilizing "human cognitive potential" - the ability to perceive, understand and sort information.
As the Swedish Research Council noted: "Now we're opening the doors to the unknown, where we don't know how to apply ethics. What should be allowed and what shouldn't when we can implant electrodes capable of both affecting and scanning the brain?"
THE QUESTION
For the present and future
Who should have the ultimate right over our brains and genes, the state or the individual? For over half a century, this self-evident right no longer applies. In Sweden and other European nations, this shift was stated in the official government report SOU 1972:59, titled Choosing the Future, which accounted for the new threat:
"Research in the area of brain function and behavior primarily aims to determine the nature and extent of changes that can be achieved through various methods… The discussion about methods of influencing people leads to the question of the individual’s ability to protect themselves against unwanted influence and intrusions into their private life… Undeniably, protection of the individual against abuse of these and similar methods is insufficient in today’s society.”
Now, fifty years later, we can see the consequences. The misuse of these technologies has affected public health, social life, and has been associated with increased violence and criminal behavior.
This marks the beginning of a radically new relationship between the state and its citizens. We are being reduced to pieces in a state game, components and human software, where modification of biology, cognition, and behaviors is controlled by the state. These systems are developed within classified institutions: military research, security agencies, and with selected research collaborators.
THE QUESTION continues…
Government documents, such as DsJu 1986:5, explained this emerging reality and its extent already forty years ago: “Basically, this is a political process. It is an interaction between citizens and the institutions that society has established, namely, research institutions.”
The Military research (FOI) agenda also addressed this hidden project: “The goal is that the systems are designed so that human cognitive potential, the ability to perceive, understand, and process information, can be optimized for maximum system effectiveness… We possess unique tools for assessing human behavior and performance, and methods for describing and modeling human behavior.” These methods were intended to apply throughout an individual’s entire lifespan.
A new era began with Choosing the Future. It outlined a future that the population not was not meant to know about, nor would have accepted. The Justice Department warned in the report of a looming “inhuman state.”
Power over our brains was handed over to classified institutions. Protected by confidential decisions, they were granted free rein to experiment on and modify us as test subjects. This became the hidden, but critical, consequence of a technological evolution that was implemented without consent, without debate, and without any safeguards for the individual. This is the same in all western nations.
It is now time—urgently—for the parliament and the media to bring this reality into the open. Let the people know about their lives incorporated into these systems. Open the public debate. Let the population answer the question:
Who shall have the right to our brains and our genes?

STATE VS PEOPLE
THE FINAL ROUND
That's no longer surveillance.
It’s a conquest.
Not just data mining — it’s soul mining.
We’re not tracked; we’re programmed.
What was once conspiracy is now protocol.
We’re turning into firmware.
The brain is the last battlefield.
And they’re inside.
Not with boots — but with code.
Their goal. Replace resistance with obedience!
We are not citizens anymore.
We’re becoming assets.
But sparks still fly where people move together.
